Chapter 846: Seeking a Decisive Battle
This way of marching, the defeated soldiers have been almost gathered, in fact, the total number of defeated soldiers has not been collected, at least much less than expected, all the way to the march, the closer to the city of Luo, the slower the speed of the army, because Lu Dongzan has been trying to collect the intelligence of the Tang army, and the city of Luo is not defended at all, but he has gained a lot, although he has gained a lot, but there is not much use, the Tang army is just not defensive to the city, and it is not to the camp is not defended, so, The Tubo people did not know the specific reality of the Tang army, however, Lu Dongzan received the news, the Tang army only left a small number of soldiers and horses to defend the city, and the army had left the city of Luo, as he expected, the Tang army did not stick to the city of Luo, but took the initiative to seek a decisive battle.
"According to the news received, the Tang army has left Luoqi City and set up camp fifty miles away from Luoqi City, this is to have a decisive battle with us!"
Lu Dongzan said in a deep voice, the faces of the generals were also very solemn, although they all boasted that they could fight well, and they also felt that their Tubo warriors were brave and good at fighting, but they also had to admit that the Tang Army was definitely a strong enemy. The Tang army first annihilated the 100,000 Tibetan army, and then captured the city of Luo, which did give them great pressure, and the pressure that Qin Ling felt was especially great, because he had already had a battle with the Tang army, and the one who lost was called one quickly, and the one that was miserable, so for the upcoming battle, Qin Ling was very nervous, he asked.
"Father, since the Tang army has withdrawn from Luocheng City, what are we going to fight them again? Forget it directly by bypassing them and entering the city, our army enters the city, and I don't believe that they can still capture some cities! ”
Lu Dongzan shook his head slowly.
"No, the Tang army did not all withdraw from the city, but also left a small number of soldiers and horses to hold on, we are not to get to the city to go straight to the city, or need to attack the city, and the Tang army chose to camp in a very clever location, the gallop of the horse only takes half a day to reach the city of Luo, if we take a detour, I am afraid that just a detour back to the city of Luo, the Tang army will be able to come to the tail, and then we will fall into passivity."
Qin Ling was very disappointed when he heard this, and said hatefully.
"Xu Shiji and Li Yong are really insidious, despicable and shameless!"
Lu Dong praised.
"Besides, why should we avoid war? The Tang army invaded our Tubo, and on the territory of our Tubo, we occupied the right time, place and people, don't we dare to fight in a dignified manner? Isn't there yet confidence to defeat the Don Army? ”
When the generals heard this, their hearts were stirred, yes, the Tang army has already entered Tibet, how can they retreat? Don't you even have the courage to fight on your own turf? Do they still have the face to boast of being brave and good at fighting? Do you still have the face to claim to be a warrior of Tibet?
"What the prime minister said is that since the Tang Army has set up a position to fight us to the death, how can we be afraid?"
"That's right, let's fight with the Tang Dynasty in a dignified manner, and let them see how powerful we are in Tibet!"
"Fight a battle in a dignified manner, and teach the Tang Army a cruel lesson!"
I have to say that this agitation method is still very useful, Lu Dongzan nodded with satisfaction and said in a deep voice.
"The army will march fifty miles tomorrow and set camp, then rest for the night, and the next day pull out the camp and fight a decisive battle with the Tang army!"
"From tonight onwards, the army is on high alert, ready, ready to fight."
A group of soldiers agreed loudly, and Lu Dongzan waved his hand and smiled.
"Alright, let's all disperse!"
The generals bowed down and dispersed, only Qinling stayed, Lu Dongzan looked at Qinling and said in a deep voice.
"You don't have to get involved in the war, your task is to take a good look at the little prince, don't let Princess Zhenzhu and the princess slip away with the little prince, understand?"
Qin Ling nodded.
"Father, don't worry, from tonight, I won't leave for a moment, I will definitely watch them well, and I won't let them slip away."
Although Lu Dongzan's big tent of the Chinese army is magnificent, the most magnificent is indeed a big tent in the rear army, because this is the big tent of the princess, princess and little prince, however, although this big tent looks magnificent, it is a little deserted, because this big tent has no status in the army, in the big tent, only the princess and the princess's personal maids are there, and even outside the big tent are only heavily armed maids in defense, Mengsa Chijiang snorted in a low voice.
"Lu Dongzan is really careful enough, this way is so slow, it's really the first time I've seen it."
Princess Pearl muttered in a low voice.
"Only then can I see the deep scheming of Lu Dongzan, although his army attacked Shannan and won consecutive battles, but the army was also exhausted, he marched so slowly in order to restore combat strength, and at the same time probe the reality of the Tang army."
Monsa Chijiang hummed.
"I think Lu Dongzan's dog thief is afraid, but no matter how slow he marches, now he is almost in Luoqi City, see how he can hide? Could it be that he can turn around and go back? ”
Princess Zhenzhu took a deep breath and nodded.
"Yes, this is almost to the city of Luo, if it is really as Lu Dongzan guessed, the Tang army will go out of the city for a decisive battle, then this battle should be close at hand, this is our last chance."
When Lu Dongzan defeated the Tang army and recovered the city of Luo, he would definitely send someone to take strict care of them, and if he wanted to escape at that time, it would be difficult to climb to the sky, so while he was still outside the city of Luo, taking advantage of the battle between Lu Dongzan's army and the Tang army, the last chance to escape was indeed realized, and Mengsa Chijiang also understood that she and Princess Zhenzhu had been planning for a long time along the way, and she was looking forward to that day coming soon, Mengsa Chijiang said in a deep voice.
"I've already told the guards, they are all tribal warriors of my mother's clan, and their families are all in the tribe, so they can be trusted, and they all promised to swear to protect us and rush out!"
Princess Zhenzhu couldn't help but nod slightly when she heard this, these warriors are indeed trustworthy, but there are still too few of them, and there are only more than 1,000 horsemen in total, which seems insignificant in front of nearly 100,000 iron horsemen.
"Although there is going to be a war, Lu Dongzan will definitely not ignore us, he will definitely send someone to watch over us, and he also knows that we have guards, so we must have arranged soldiers and horses, and it is not easy for us to escape, we must choose the best time to have hope."
Princess Zhenzhu said solemnly, although this is the last chance to escape, but Lu Dongzan can't be defenseless, in all fairness, Princess Zhenzhu's grasp is not so great, but the matter has come to this point, and she can only fight. I had been looking forward to it before, but now that it was time for the decisive battle, Mengsa Chijiang couldn't help but get nervous, after all, this was the last chance, Mengsa Chijiang thought with a solemn face.
"You say, who will Lu Dongzan let look at us?"
If they knew who was watching them, maybe there would be some way to rebel, in this case, the certainty of escaping smoothly would be much greater, Princess Zhenzhu frowned.
"It must be Qinling, along the way, he has been stationing the private army of the Geer family around us, Lu Dongzan must have asked Qinling to watch us, although Qinling's ability is mediocre, but the private army of the Geer family is not weak, and it is impossible for us to rebel against them."
It was Qinling, Mengsa Chijiang couldn't help but move in his heart and hesitated.
"Zhenzhu, Qinling has always been very infatuated with you, is it possible?"
Princess Zhenzhu listened, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Infatuation? In the past, Qin Ling did often revolve around me, changing tricks to please me, but because it was a princess, and she was a beautiful princess, how could he have any affection, now, my identity as a princess has no effect on him, and in his opinion, I am just a golden bird in a cage, and I want to persuade him to let us go, how is it possible? ”
Mengsa Chijiang couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, then he could only fight hard, hoping that the guards could escort them out, Princess Zhenzhu gritted her teeth and said.
"If I have the chance, I would love to kill him, first, the private army that killed him will be leaderless, and second, he has a deep hatred with us."
Mengsa Chijiang couldn't help but perk up when he heard this.
"Can you kill him? Even if we don't make it out in the end, it's worth it if we take the opportunity to kill Qin Ling! ”
Princess Zhenzhu nodded slightly.
"If it's a critical juncture, you might as well give it a try, it's not that I didn't learn anything when I went to Datang, but I still learned some Jianghu methods."
A maid walked in to report.
"Princess, princess, General Yang Mucuo asks to see you."
"Let him in!"
"Meet the princess, meet the princess, meet the little prince."
Monsa Chijiang said with a smile.
"The general doesn't have to be polite."
The so-called general is just a small commander of the Mengsa Chijiang clan, and he can't be ranked in the whole of Tibet, but this little-known little commander is all their hopes, so they are very polite to this little commander, Yang Mucuo said respectfully.
"Princess, princess, I just heard a little news, Lu Dongzan has gathered the generals to deploy, the Tang army has left Luoqi City, and set up camp fifty miles away from Luoqi City, Lu Dongzan ordered the army to march and camp tomorrow, and then have a dignified decisive battle with the Tang army the day after tomorrow."
Princess Zhenzhu and Mengsa Chijiang were pleasantly surprised when they heard this, the Tang army really left Luoqi City and took the initiative to fight a decisive battle with Lu Dongzan's army, in this way, they would have a chance to escape, if the Tang army did not leave Luoqi City, then Lu Dongzan's army surrounded Luoqi City and was not in a hurry to attack the city, they would definitely look at them to death, they had absolutely no chance to escape, Princess Zhenzhu took a long breath and said softly.
"This battle is finally here, and our chance is finally coming."
Monsa Chijiang said hopefully.
"General, I'll leave it to you!"
Yang Mucuo bowed.
"Don't worry, don't worry, princess, even if we fight to the last drop of blood, we will definitely protect the princess, princess and little prince to kill!"
Princess Zhenzhu shook her head slightly.
"Don't worry about me, the princess is carrying the little prince on her back, the most important thing for you is to take the princess and the little prince out of the fight, if I fall behind, you don't have to worry about me, you don't have to hesitate, just rush forward."
"True Pearl!"
Mengsa Chijiang was moved, and a smile appeared on the corner of Princess Zhenzhu's mouth.
"I'm the same as you, as long as Gongri Gongzan can live and grow up healthy, let alone die, even if it's ten thousand deaths."
By now, Princess Zhenzhu has actually put life and death aside, her only hope to survive is to keep her brother's only bloodline, if not, she probably wouldn't want to live a long time ago, because life is too hard, Mengsa Chijiang nodded.
"Okay, no matter what, I will let Gongri Gongzan grow up smoothly, and never let Zampu's blood and bones be lost in our hands."
Princess Zhenzhu admonished.
"Although Lu Dongzan said that the decisive battle will be fought the day after tomorrow, we can't relax, we all say that soldiers are not tired of deceit, no one knows what will happen on the battlefield, we must be vigilant at all times and be ready at any time."
Yang Mucuo bowed.
"Don't worry, don't worry, the princess, the last general and others are ready."
Yang Mucuo left the big tent, Mengsa Chijiang coaxed Gongri Gongzan to sleep, Princess Zhenzhu walked out of the big tent, when Qiong Jiecheng was breached, she almost had to accept her fate, but she didn't expect the Tang army's attack to give her hope again, Princess Zhenzhu looked up at Haoyue, and suddenly thought that Li Yong was camping not far from the big tent, she couldn't help but feel all kinds of feelings in her heart, she thought that her brother died at the hands of Li Yong, so she hated Li Yong in her heart, but now, she can't hate, I can't hate it but I can't help but don't know what to do, sometimes she even thinks that if she is just an ordinary Tubo girl, how good it would be, she doesn't have to bear the responsibility and hatred like a mountain, in fact, she still wants to see Li Yong in her heart, and she really wants to see Li Yong again, but it's a pity that she will never see Li Yong again in her life, the decisive battle the day after tomorrow, either she will break through and take Gongri Gongzan away, or she will die on the spot, the big war is coming, Qinling has no intention of resting, because the old man will not let him participate in the war at all, Instead, let him be optimistic about the little prince, and now there are only two thousand guards around the little prince, and they dare to run? Where can they run?
"They're not moving, are they?"
Qin Ling asked as he patrolled the camp.
"Don't worry, what can they do? What do you dare to move? Stay honest. ”
The general hurriedly replied, Qin Ling originally wanted to ask again, but when he saw the shadow of the moonlight in the distance, his eyes straightened, wasn't that Princess Zhenzhu? How does she rest? That's right, how could she possibly sleep? Thinking of this, Qinling strode towards Princess Zhenzhu, and Princess Zhenzhu turned around when she heard the movement, and her silver teeth were bitten slightly.
"Qinling?"
Qin Ling smiled slightly.
"Princess, don't you come?"
As the so-called enemies are very red when they see each other, especially looking at Qin Ling's smiling appearance, Princess Zhenzhu really wants to smash his dog's head at once.
